The Windmill's Song and Other Memories of a Country Child

Mary Gilhooly's memories of her early years are as fresh as a country morning, a bittersweet mix of nostalgia and insight. You can almost smell the Texas countryside in her vivid descriptions and the memories she evokes will evoke memories of your own, sweet and bittersweet, that gently linger waiting to be called forth.Her second book, a personal reflection on her months as the primary caregiver for her strong but failing mother is a must for anyone who faces the reality caring for an aging parent, or the reality of their own mortality. Insightful, honest and realistic, both books are for those unafraid of the past or future.
